Confirmed with Link: Leafs have acquired D Mark Giordano (50% retained) and F Colin Blackwell for 2nd, 2nd, 3rd

[MR4]

Hopefully one of these 2nd rounders has a condition on playoff success / Gio signing back with us

But we didn’t trade a 1st, so it’s palpable

 

[MSZ]

Is Blackwell comparable to Maglin?

I think he is better than Malgin.

 

[stickty111]

Is Blackwell comparable to Maglin?

If Malgin had the compete level then yes. Less skilled though

 

[htpwn]

Fantastic if this is the highest

Implies there are more picks than just the 2nds, but it does mean we keep our 1sts.

 

[JKG33]

Would've much rather just done Dermott for Blackwell or something.

Two 2nds could've had Bennett last deadline.

Is Blackwell comparable to Maglin?

He looked awesome in the last game against us.. two different styles entirely.

Nothing bad at all about adding a top 4 defenseman and a 3rd liner for two second round picks

its a shame i confuse your name with matthews gq, since you seem to be actually reasonable and not unbalanced lol

 

[Nylanderthal]

Honestly, this site is so good

Whoever runs that site does god’s work.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

2 second rounders. Not great but better than I expected. No firsts or prospects given up as some speculated.

 

[Lemontree]

I’m so glad we have legit smart people in hockey ops and not just former players who are nothing but nepotism babies in suits

Sounds like you don’t know much about Dubas getting his start in the OHL, also take a look at who the president is.

NHL.com is reporting a 22 3rd rounder for Dermott but no report of any Gio trade yet . Wonder if it's the Sens 3rd Van got for Hamonic ?

 

[Burnie97]

That's not bad. I was more worried about losing certain prospects so this is decent.

Maybe Gio signs for cheap with is later too.

The trade fills 2 needs so pretty good.

 

[Cleetus]

Hopefully Gio Re-signs here!

Implies there are more picks than just the 2nds, but it does mean we keep our 1sts.

Do we know it is only picks involved? Dreger stated it was for multiple picks but still possible there's a player in there?

 

[djdev]

Two 2nds is steep, but better than a first

i consider it more dermott a 2nd and a pick swap, its not bad at all really given what other teams were doing.

 

[Cor]

2 2nds and a 3rd for Gio and Blackwell, per Weekes

 

[Morgs]

 

[stickty111]

2 2nds and a 3rd. Thats more than fine. Nice work. Top 4 d man and a bottom 6 forward.

If anyone involved with the design layout of these new boards is reading this please change the red text on grey background in night mode. It’s a nightmare trying to read what poster is being quoted.

Amen. I’m red/green colour blind so it’s literally impossible. Lol. But I guess it’s tough for everyone.

 

[96]

NHL.com is reporting a 22 3rd rounder for Dermott but no report of any Gio trade yet

Weekes said 2 2nds + 3rd

 

[BushFireRecordsRedux]

Kind of steep but totally worth it. Especially given how goofy the prices have been for other, lesser rentals

 

[Stand Witness]

Essentially 2 2nds and dermott

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Thank god no 1st.

 

[colchar]

Not a big fan of shipping out two 2nds.

Oh ffs.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Not a big fan of shipping out two 2nds.

Better than a first. Getting either Vancouver or ottawas (I haven’t bothered looking at that trade breakdown other than the basics) offsets losing our 2nd
